Before we go pointing the finger at QB Eli he still is an Elite QB who has had some issues and those 27 My Bad's in 2013 are out the window but not forgotten. The Giants O-Line needs some of the blame as Eli was scrambling for his life in 2013.

They lose unfortunately RB David Wilson as it looks like he will retire. 2014 FA Pick Up RB Rashad Jennings from the Raiders is serviceable. Where in Giants Football is former BC Star RB Andre Williams? WR Odell Beckham Jr. the 2014 #1 Pick should be immediate help for Randle and Cruz at Wide out.

The "D" is strong in the Secondary as Safety Stevie Brown comes back from Injury to join Antrel Rolle. 2014 FA Pick Up CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie from the Broncos should pay immediate dividends for the G-Men "D"!  Will J.P.P. return to form in 2014 and that is a Giants 2014 Make or Break Question talking Pierre-Paul?

Key Players

Offense
QB Eli M.
RB Jennings/Peyton Hillis
WR Randle/Cruz/Beckham Jr. (2014 #1 Pick LSU)
LG J. Schwartz (2014 FA Pick Up Chiefs)
C J.D. Walton (2014 FA Pick Up Broncos)

Defense
LDE M. Kiwanuka
RDE J.P.P.
MLB M. Herzlich
WLB J. McClain (2014 FA Pick Up Ravens)
LCB D.R.C.
RCB Prince A.
SS Rolle
FS S. Brown

The Offense will have success only if that patch-work O-Line holds up. Eli has weapons in the Passing Game but they need to keep people honest by some sort of Run Game now window dressing.   Cruz, Randle, and Rook Beckham Jr. should be dynamic if Eli gets time.

The "D" is where the Giants Hope lie as they are at least on paper the best "D" in the NFC East. Throw in D-Coorinator Perry Fawell...it's a no-brainer. Kiwanuka and J.P.P. have to get after it. The Secondary is should be really good with the addition of D.R.C. and FS Stevie Brown back from injury.
